Andrew: Just as a point of inquiry---not that it's worth much or worthy of any effort but, an aqquaintance has asked me about an upcoming IPO out of Idaho or Utah (that's as close as he could get) concerning a company which has come up with a salt substitute which is identical (his quote) to NaCl, both in texture and taste ---yet contains NO sodium. Could be the reason that it struck me as having market potential is personal experience-----when my wife had open heart sugery and I became full time nurse and cook for several months the toughest part of the chore was the low/no salt diet. Now, as I remember Eco 101 from back in the dark ages, salt, butter, and swords were three of the primary examples used in examples of allocation of resourses. And as I remember it salt was the classic textbook chart on inelastic demand and supply. While the salt substitute is subject to the vagaries of this phenom, in time of need price effect WILL disappear, making profit ceiling way up in the sky for the product. ------Have you heard of the potential IPO. You being the one with all the fast breaking news and all. BTW----this is not a trap. It's a "for real" question. Regards---Nemer

Andrew, remember something a big Y2k gov. contract? something about a major government contract getting awarded soon to a Y2k firm, and some of that money being used to buy up another Y2k company or two. I just recall this from about 6-8 weeks ago and wonder if anything developed out of that. Do you know? -Kevin
